it seems that at this point in time, mitt romney, by embracing the paul ryan budget last year and this year, is allowing -- the more contrast that there is, the better he will be. this has led to stop the we talk about everyday and it is working to the president's advantage, at this point. host: we ask you about the gridiron dinner, which you -- we asked you about the gridiron dinner, which you attended last night. there is robert gibbs walking in, in a white tie and tuxedo. first of all, what happened last night? what did you learn? and what was memorable? >> i learned that journalists cannot sing very well, except for a few of us. basically it is a series of skits put on by the gridiron club. they poke fun at democrats and republicans -- for instance, the skit about newt gingrich was them singing fly me to the moon. it was very funny. but then you have speeches on the democratic side, the republican side, without representing the ministrations. this time it was leon panetta, the defense secretary. republicans were represented by rick perry. i have to say that it was quite funny and s

i was happy to vote for mitt romney and paul ryan. very glad to do it. i was so happy to see the state of alabama line up in -- light up in red. i loved seeing him walk on stage, because during the debate, the man just exhibited just a solid demeanor, just like you are seeing on tv, just gracious and humbled before his lord. i am so glad that his running mate got reelected yesterday. the very thankful that benjamin netanyahu sent a tweet to our country. i think the best way that president obama to start the change on day one, like mr. romney wanted to do speaking to him, is to tune in to mr. netanyahu and help him. i was in my voting area yesterday and saying that it is time to wake up. president obama goes to the st. john's episcopal church in washington. i am an episcopalian. i really hope that he is listening to me right now. mr. obama, get down on your hands and knees. you have a chance to turn our country around, and i pray you are hearing me out because i lost my mother a week ago yesterday, and i know she would have voted republican. i don't like

here comes amid romney. -- mitt romney. he goes to paul ryan who is popular with the tea party. he picked him. i think a lot of people say that paul ryan is not really capable. i've got a loaded question for you -- does america really respect a black individual to be their leader? guest: it is good to end on a loaded question. let me say first that john mccain, who was a great senator, and who was the original maverick and had an independent image, i think he had a very difficult time running into thousand eight following eight years of george w. bush. it was likely time for a democratic president to win so i think john mccain had a hard assignment. with respect to the question you asked, i would say that america elected an african-american, barack obama, and after one of the most intense and expensive and bitter campaigns of all time, reelected him. i would say that is a pretty strong statement of respect for him. some people have said to mate there will be a racial vote in this election. i think it is quite likely that the people who voted against barack obama would have voted

the election, but i think paul ryan has a bright future. if he wants it, he will get that waiver from the budget committee. he also has his eyes on the ways and means committee. dave camp will be term limited as chairman. does he run for the ways and means committee? it is a powerful committee. then again, will he run for president in 2016? there is a lot of potential for paul ryan, and john boehner will give him the boy. i think he stays -- the voice. i think he stays in congress until it least 2016. host: robert, south carolina. democratic caller. caller: everybody keeps talking about government cutbacks, but we do not cut back both houses. if we paid them for each session that they attend and make them pay their own retirement like the average worker, maybe we will start to see some results. they are getting away with too much. we treat them like royalty. host: gail russell chaddock, why don't you take that one? guest: a lot of the members feel that they have cut back a lot because of criticism and close looking at what the benefits are
